If someone bought a bunch of Hashlets in the past month or two with a credit card, would it be reasonable to chargeback the purchase? Or, should they view it as an investment that went belly up?
Most people buy miners (including cloud miners) and leave them alone to accrue coins. Problem is, in this case, the company changed course and no longer works to make those miners profitable. Thus, the investment was made relying on a false premise. On the other hand, maybe a person should monitor their investments on a daily basis.
In conclusion, should those that bought with credit card attempt chargebacks? Or, since many people paid with Bitcoin, maybe a class action suit would be more appropriate (because more people could participate) for anybody that made a Hashlet purchase in the past couple months under those false premises and before the company changed course from mining to whatever this PayStaking scheme is going on now.
Or, do nothing, as sometimes in life people get screwed over and should use it as a lesson learned and move on?
Chargeback for what? (Isn't that a song?)
You bought a hashlet, they gave you a hashlet. Now, you might have purchased that with an expectation of making money faster than what you are. Perhaps that expectation was based on what you were told by someone. However, GAW posts their pool payouts for the previous day so you should be able to calculate what your rate of return is. You can even see this information before you purchase a hashlet. Remember though, past performance is never an indicator of future returns. All companies in the finance industry use that phrase for a reason. GAW's contention will be they can't control what the pool pays. Technically, you aren't losing money because you get a payment every day. It will just take until your grandchildren are old to realize a profit. It's kind of like when I bought Cisco stock back in 2000 at $60 and it tanked down to $18 three months later. Except that Cisco is a little more transparent due to all those pesky reporting regulations they have for being a publicly traded company.
If it was me, I would chalk it up to a life lesson that cost me money for not listening to what people say all the time and, also, quickly forget all the time. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
